This file names and describes the other files used to replicate the analysis in the article
"The Political Implications of American Concerns about Economic Inequality."


This article has two distinct analytic tasks, each of which require a different 
set of files to replicate. 

1) Creation of a measure of concern over economic inequality

The measure of "concern" described in the article, and the factor loadings
presented in Table 1 were created using the program Wcalc, using two specially formatted
Stata .dta files as input files. The files needed to reproduce all of these results are as follows


a) Wcalc6.exe - Wcalc program used to create measure of concern and factor loadings (wcalc can also
be downloaded from http://stimson.web.unc.edu/software/)
b) All items for wcalc.dta - Stata input dataset for Wcalc
c) non gov items for wqcalc.dta - Stata input dataset for Wcalc
d) Codebook for concern creation datasets.pdf - codebook for both .dta files above, including instructions on
using these datasets in Wcalc to replicate analyses described in the article.


2) Replication of error correction models


The error correction models described in the paper were run on a constructed
dataset containing the measure of concern created by the procuedres described above, and
other publically availible data. The files needed to reproduce all of these results are as follows


a) ECM replication dataset.dta - Stata dataset containg all relevant variables
b) ECM replication syntax.do - Stata .do file containing recodes and analyses required to
replicate all ECM results reported in the article and online appendix

c) Codebook for ECM dataset - codebook for .dta file described above.
